Congenital master, put in the secular world, is completely an existence that breaks the balance. If a country has a congenital master, neighboring countries do not even have the courage to fight against this country. If they really want to start a war, on the first day, all the generals leading the army will die in their command tents, and on the second day, the emperor will also die in the imperial palace. How can this war be fought?

  If Lin Ming had one day reached a level of power comparable to that of the First Heaven, then he would be the master of Tianyun Country.

  When Lin Ming got the news of ranking sixth on the Ranking Stone, the Crown Prince naturally received a Sound Transmission Token reporting Lin Ming's situation in the first instance.

  Lin Ming's achievement surprised him, but soon he thought that with Lin Ming's current situation, defeating Zhang Guanyu four months later was becoming more and more possible. With Zhang Guanyu's temperament, how could he be willing to accept it?

  The Seventh Imperial Palace is like a beast cage, gathering all the geniuses together, just like the beast tamers gather some physically strong beasts in a cage, feeding them good meat and water, just to let them kill each other, selecting the final beast king.

  Now, the master of the mansion has set a goal for Lin Ming to defeat Zhang Guanyu within four months, which is equivalent to making Zhang Guanyu a whetstone for Lin Ming.

  If Zhang Guanyu's temperament is calm and composed, or like some martial artists who are exceptionally resilient, the more they are defeated, the braver they become. Then if they lose, they just lose, it's not a big deal.

  But unfortunately, Zhang Guanyu is a stubborn person and may not accept defeat so easily, especially with the great influence of this battle.

  Zhang Guanyu, what measures will he take?

  Yang Lin thought so, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. Lan Yunyue was in his mansion, and he could guarantee her safety. Lin Ming's parents were also under heavy protection in the Lin family of Qing Sang City, and there shouldn't be any problems either.

  As for Lin Ming himself, he didn't dare move anymore.

  What else can Zhang Guanyu do?

  At this time, the United Chamber of Commerce —

  Zhang Guanyu sat slumped on the couch with a gloomy face. Two maids with elaborate hairstyles stood beside him, looking anxious and fearful.

  In fact, when Lin Ming went to the Wan Jian Array assessment, Zhang Guanyu received the news at the first time. He could have gone to watch Lin Ming's assessment, but for Lin Ming's big show-off things, Zhang Guanyu would not have half a bit of interest.

  Lin Ming finished his assessment and Zhang Guanyu immediately received a transmission talisman.

  Two months time, sixth place in Wan Sha Array!

  This result made Zhang Guanyu feel uneasy. Although the top three and fourth place were not in the same league, Zhang Guanyu's strength had recently made significant progress. However, Lin Ming's progress was too terrifying, and who knew how much he would improve in another two months?

  Now Zhang Guanyu has a feeling of riding a tiger and finding it hard to get off.

  "Master... are you looking for me?" The middle-aged man in the Qi Refining stage under Zhang Guanyu walked into the room. After a courtesy, he also learned about Lin Ming's entry into the sixth place on the Ranking Stone. For this result, he could only sigh. Two months ago, he did not agree with Zhang Guanyu going to provoke Lin Ming, but Zhang Guanyu's actions were not something he could control.

  Lin Ming has already offended him. It's too late to withdraw now, and with Zhang Guanyu's temperament, he will definitely not back down.

  "If the young master continues to act so willfully, I'm afraid he won't be able to inherit the position of leader of this Chamber of Commerce... The Council of Elders wouldn't choose someone with such an extreme personality as the helmsman of the Chamber."

  The middle-aged man shook his head secretly, of course he didn't dare say this out loud.

  Zhang Guanyu still sat on the couch, his face gloomy and silent. Zhang Guanyu naturally understood what kind of person was suitable to be the future helmsman of the United Chamber of Commerce. However, since he had cultivated the "He Huan Shen Gong", Zhang Guanyu no longer had much interest in this position as a helmsman. He pursued eternal youth and infinite yang energy, and being the helmsman of the United Chamber of Commerce would only bring worldly troubles that would affect his cultivation.

  "Help me get in touch with Yunqin Wang and Qixuan Gu of Ou Yang Qi Hua, I want to see them." Zhang Guanyu was silent for a while before speaking slowly.

  "Yun Qinwang and Ou Yang Dihua?" The middle-aged man was slightly startled, then immediately understood that Zhang Guanyu was looking for help. Yun Qinwang was undoubtedly Lin Ming's enemy, and the enemy of an enemy is a friend. Since ancient times, when it comes to the struggle for the throne, the Chamber of Commerce has always maintained a neutral attitude and will not lean towards any one side. However, this time, Zhang Guanyu might have to lean towards the Tenth Prince's side.

  As for Ou Yang Di Hua, he was a direct disciple of Ou Yang Bo Yan, the third elder of He Huan Sect in Qi Xing Valley.

  In fact, Ou Yang Zhi Hua's talent was not outstanding among the disciples of Qi Xuan Valley. He only reached the Condensing Pulse stage at the age of 22 and even now, two years later, he still hasn't entered the peak of the Condensing Pulse stage. The main reason he became a direct disciple was that he was the nephew of the Third Elder Ou Yang Bo Yan. With this identity, not to mention emperors from various countries, even the Seven Marquises and Prefecture Masters from various countries would have to show some respect when they see Ou Yang Zhi Hua.

  Ouyang Qianhua has been using the excuse of cultivating "He Huan Shen Gong" to leave Qi Xing Valley and go to surrounding countries for "training". What is called "training" is actually hunting and enjoying beauties from various countries.

  Ouyang Dianhua's tastes are diverse, but he is most interested in two types. The first type is the young lady of a large family, who has an outstanding temperament and a proud heart. Ouyang Dianhua likes to strip away their proud exterior and watch them transform from pure maidens into lustful women under his body. The second type is the delicate daughter-in-law of a wealthy family, who is often innocent and charming, with a refreshing aura about her. Ouyang Dianhua enjoys the subtle scent of chastity that emanates from these girls.

  Zhang Guanyu's United Chamber of Commerce has a long-standing relationship with the Hehuan Sect's Third Elder, Ouyang Bodayan. The "Hehuan Divine Art" that Zhang Guanyu practices was also obtained from Ouyang Bodayan's hands, and naturally, the United Chamber of Commerce paid a considerable price for it.

  Five days later, in the Shenfeng Nation, three ten thousand li away from Tianyun Nation, Jingcheng Xinggong—

  Zhang Guanyu stood in the hall with his hands hanging down, without a hint of arrogance on his face. In front of him, a man in his early twenties was lounging on a couch, holding a beautiful woman like jade in his arms.

  The beauty wrapped in a blanket, with the man's slight movements, the blanket occasionally rises, and a faint spring light is revealed, apparently, the woman under the blanket has stripped naked.

  "Zhang Guanyu, be honest with me, what else do you need my help with?" The man was none other than Ouyang Qianhua, who had been staying in Shenfeng Country for some time, enjoying the beauties while attempting to break through the third round of the "Hehuan Divine Art".

  Zhang Guanyu learned that Ouyang Qiu Hua was in Shen Feng Country, so he summoned the Shen Feng carving of the United Chamber of Commerce and rushed three thousand miles in five days to pay a special visit to Ouyang Qiu Hua.

  Zhang Guanyu took out a scroll from the Su Mi Jie and handed it to the man with respect. The man unfolded it and saw that it was a painting of a beautiful girl, about 15 or 16 years old, born with a charming and elegant appearance, and most surprisingly, she had an air of purity and nobility mixed together, making people want to possess her immediately.

  The girl in this painting is Lan Yunyue.

  "Not bad!"

  Ouyang Di's eyes lit up, he liked the kind of woman who was both a lady and a simple, elegant girl, and the woman in the painting seemed to have both qualities.

  "Where is he?" Ouyang Dihua cut straight to the point.

  "In the Tianyun State Crown Prince's residence."

  Ouyang Qianhua was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Zhang Guanyu, has the Crown Prince of Tianyun Country offended you? Is this girl the Crown Prince's concubine? Do you want to use me to make the Crown Prince lose face? Although I'm not afraid of a small crown prince, I also don't want to be used as a tool without knowing the reason. Moreover, if this girl has already been taken in by the Crown Prince as his concubine, my interest is not great either."

  Zhang Guanyu said, "Young Master misunderstood, the girl is absolutely intact, and this girl was born in a Yin year and a Yin month. I had previously dispatched my family to gather pure Yin twelve sons for Ouyang Gongzi, to help Young Master break through the fourth layer of divine work. This girl has a top-grade heavenly gift, just right to be the 'guide' for the pure Yin twelve sons. Now my subordinates have already made some gains in collecting the pure Yin twelve sons."

  "Oh?" Ou Yang Di's heart skipped a beat, "Pure Yin Twelve Characters... Heh heh, you're quite thoughtful."

  The Tianyuan continent calculates time by combining the heavenly stems and earthly branches, with ten heavenly stems and twelve earthly branches. Odd numbers are yang, even numbers are yin, and yin and yang each occupy half. Therefore, there are too many girls born in yin years and yin months, and Lan Yunyue is also one of them.

  However, it's extremely difficult to find a complete set of twelve pure yin girls. The first girl, "Yǐn", is the easiest to find, but all the subsequent girls must be calculated based on the birth date and time of the first girl "Yǐn", making each one harder to find than the last.

  Moreover, it's even harder that these girls must have a three-product talent or above, and people with three-product talents only account for one percent, which again eliminated a large number of women.

  Finally, the twelve girls of Pure Yin must be beauties under the age of twenty and virgins.

  First of all, the practitioner must be in a state of joy and have smooth breathing. If the girl is too ugly, the practitioner will already be disheartened, how can they possibly rely on her to break through the bottleneck of their skills?

  Three rare talents, beautiful virgins under the age of twenty, and increasingly stringent requirements for birth times make it extremely difficult to gather all twelve pure yin.

  Some disciples of the Huajuan sect tried to gather twelve pure yin children, and after several years of searching, they finally found the last one, only to discover that the first girl was already over twenty years old.

  However, in the search for pure yin and twelve children, the Chamber of Commerce has an unparalleled advantage. The Chamber of Commerce is almost involved in all aspects of trade, among which a large part is human trafficking.

  In the Tianyuan continent, human trafficking is too common. Many poor families who give birth to children they cannot afford will sell them off. Generally, maidservants, concubines, and eunuchs all come from such backgrounds. Additionally, during military campaigns and wars, a large number of captives and refugees often become servants or slaves.

  I see that many book friends don't like Lan Yunyue, but in fact, Lan Yunyue plays a significant role in promoting the plot of the book, so I still need to write about her. I feel that there hasn't been any unacceptable plot development, so it's not worth treating her this poorly, right? Thanks to everyone's support, we've reached 36th place on the monthly ticket rankings! I want to keep it up, so I'll continue writing diligently. The transition chapters after Gao Yun are a bit difficult to write, but I'll work hard and there will be another chapter tonight, with 11 more updates in two days.
